Smart card personalisation including key management We use electronic and optical personalisation to make every smart card personal. You can choose from a wide range of personalisation options. Whether you prefer embossing or engraving, thermotransfer printing or thermosublimation will depend on aesthetic, functional and security aspects. For whichever technology you opt, security is of utmost importance when handling personal data. At Austria Card, cardholder’s personal information is processed under strictest security measures. Secure exchange of electronic keys guarantees the protection of cardholder data during the data transfer. Our HSM (Hardware Security Module) developed according latest security technology, encloses the data and prevents any unauthorised access.
Installation and support of personalisation systems National law or other regulations may prohibit the transfer of personal data across national borders, so that in such projects sensitive data must be processed locally. Austria Card enables the local personalisation centre to personalise electronic ID cards within its own national territory. Our team provides extensive know how in implementing your personalisation system. Depending on the project scope, this can include the development of a requirement specification, implementation, installation and support. Also card finishing – sorting, inspecting and mailing – can be applied.

But also for mobile identification technologies security is essential.
